A9-9420 vs Core i5-1240P comparison
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1240P beats the A9-9420 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the A9-9420 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more cores than the A9-9420. Indeed, the Core i5-1240P has 12 cores compared to 2 cores found in the A9-9420. It also has more threads than the A9-9420. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the A9-9420 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1240P. Despite this, the Core i5-1240P has a slightly higher turbo speed. A A9-9420 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-1240P CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1240P has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the A9-9420
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the A9-9420 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
